Quality Front Court Depth is more important to beating the Spurs in a 7 game series than the SG position. Not that perimeter defense isn't important, just that Duncan will get your team's bigs in foul trouble and you need have quality replacements to keep the game competative.

For the SG position, I'm concerned about the defense, than the offense, which is why I'm high on Hodge. Hodge can pass and he can defend. Any scoring from the 5th position in the lineup is gravy.

The Nuggets are built such that the SG is least important player on the floor. Most teams have a weakness like that in their lineup. The Spurs have it at the center position and sometimes the PG position when Parker goes into a funk. When the Lakers won championships with Shaq & Kobe, they had weaknesses at 3 positions.
